Weight Loss Problems
Even after losing weight 90 percent of us regain that weight. You might ask “how can counselling help?” It can:
- Challenge negative beliefs about yourself
- Learn new problem solving skills
- Develop discipline instead of yo-yo dieting
- Practice relaxing and destressing methods
I am not a physician but together we will consider ailments that need to be considered and include the benefits of exercise. In addition to weight loss counselling can help make possible changes to other behaviours and is a space to build self-esteem and confidence as you develop a healthier relationship with food.
How many times have you promised yourself “I will find a way…..to get healthier, fitter, look slimmer, shed that fat” starting tomorrow or maybe start New Year’s day? Those horrible extra pounds sneak on silently, shift a little after some tortuous diet before plateauing after approx. week two. So what’s missing? Where do you go wrong?
- You have the initial determination
- You have good reason to begin
- You do your research and get off to a good start
What is the invisible block that halt’s progress? What cannot be found or bought to help keep moving forward? What does it take to go the extra mile and change habits for life? I want to build healthy habits instead of yo-yo diets.
- I believe what is often missing is Will power / determination
- I believe often we need someone to support you until you are satisfied that you are well on your way and the health, fitness, weight issue is not just resolved but also sustainably so.
My goal is not just to help you lose weight but also to find your weak points and develop strengths in their place.
As I’m a person who lives with epilepsy I too need to control my ketones. I have walked the talk and have lived under a nutritionally disciplined regime for years.
Do you wish to develop will power while you care for your body fitness, health & weight? I’m here to help you reach those goals.
